umm i not sure bout waiting for the engine to be rebuilt before i chuck a cam in,
but i don't wanna out the cam in before the drags wanna see what its like how it sits also because going from the ea guttles motor to xr motor will be a step up in it self but once i get use to i'll probably be all for the cam bro so proabably be a chrismas present for myself lol.....

ok, not much tonight,

but i did do something...
pullled the ea dash out, rest of the interia an heater box
an left side engine loom.
did this with some help of mates, made life a little easyer

how ever, i dunno how to get the right side out, considering cutting it :/ not sure if i wanna though even though i won't use it again...

anways i have realised a few things,
1. how do you set up the hand break with ef lever but keeping ea set up with out going ef brakes an things
2. need to change the pedel box? i think to fit the dash in
3. not sure yet lol im sure something will pop up though

any info on either of though's two things would be muchly appreciated

cheers, Dan

The handbrake setup is a PITA. I drove with no handbrake for at least 6 months. LOL.

I ended up having the EF-EL handbrake brackets welded on to my EB wagon diff.

In my sedan, I installed a diff from an EF XR6.

To mount the handle, I just bolted it to the EB floor. To run the cable from the handle to under the car, you need to identify where the hole in the floor is on the EF and then drill/cut one in the EA.

yeah i can see that im getting one of my older mates to come around an look at the hand break set up to see what we can do so it works...


i got the hand break lever in easy just had to source one because since i used the floor pan out of the blue ef i just had to bolt it in

also for me me to put the dash in i kno i gotta make that sorta right angle braket for the bottom right an left side mounts but for the bolts that go from the dash to under the cluster/ steering wheel. (pedle box?) do i need to find an ef one for that? because i think i m able to grabe one of a mate hopefully.

cheers Dan

EA EB1 didn't have the floor mount bracket on top of the tranny hump.

I just left it out in my Wagon as it is an EB1.

Up to you to make one up.

im opposite to ben, im using the center bracket (mines a NC II) but im not using the side ones. bens using the side ones but not the center.

as for the brake setup, if your using an EF pedal box all will bolt up fine. im still using my factory one so i had to cut the pins off the EF dash as they bolt up different (EA-ED bolts are on the pedal box, EF/EL are on the dash) but im also still using the factory steering column

thanks guys for the information bout the hand break thingy ..

i haven't posted anything in a while but that doesn't mean nothings been happening...
i curently m working on swopping my steering rack out of my ea an getting my brothers ea rack that is in good nik

how ever, i can't seem to get the bolts that go though tie rods?(not 100% sure of name)
well i can't get it to drop out an im running out of time to get the whole thing done

soo any informatin on the steering rack, would be very very appreaciated

also the ea wire loom is totally out, i got the xr motor home the other day have converted to ef so now just gotta do this stupid steering rack so i can continue on putting the loom an motor in...

also got a ef fly wheel today from a mate, going to take it in to get reground tomoro, bought a ef clutch, should be good,

i will do a proper post later on when i have got the time to do pictures

anyways any help would be muchly appreciated


cheers dan

Are you referring to where the tie rod ends bolt to the suspension upright?

If so, you need to loosen the nut, but leave it on the thread, then use a large screwdriver/jack handle/piece of pipe, and apply some downwards pressure, then belt the end of the upright where the tie rod end goes through with a BIG hammer.

hey all i kno i haven't posted in ages, i have been stuck out side in the shed every monet i have EVERYTHING is in!!!!!

mate is re wiring the brakes an stuff

how every i went to start the motor,.... nothing!!!!
spent a day trying to work out what it is,
but to nooo success : (

i get power to everything (99%) of everyting on ther first two stages of ignition,
how every when i go for the 3rd stage( actual motor start) nothing happens.... :/



any hints of help that could be offered would be greatly greatly appreciated thanks dan

does it turn over or just nothing? if everything cuts out then id say possibility stuffed ignition barrel

Could be a smartlock issue.

What ECU are you using?

And what ignition barrell?

If you moved all of the EL Wiring over to the EA, you also need to use the EL ignition barrel etc.

BenJ

ohh yeah i forgot the change over.. i had to jump my starter too. cant remember what wires they were tho. ben should be able to tel you tho

i'll come round 2moro if you want have a look just send me a text

hey thanks for given me some idea's,

benj
